Mitosis
The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell
What is mitosis
The process by which the chromosome number is halved.
What is meiosis?
The end product of mitosis is the cell having two sets of chromosomes; equal to the total number of chromosomes in an organism's cells.
What is diploid?
the longest phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
the phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
The number of phases in mitosis.
What is four?
The number of cycles (divisions) that meiosis goes through.
What is two?
The apparatus from which spindle fibers extend.
What are centrosomes?
a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows, synthesizes its DNA, and divides
What is the cell cycle?
the longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
what is prophase?
The process in meiosis that takes place between non-sister chromatids and ensures genetic variation
What is crossing over?
The part of the chromosome that the spindle fiber attaches to.
What is a centromere or kinetochore?
the phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
What is telophase?
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
What is your somatic (body) cells or autosomes?
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
What is prophase I?
the name of reproductive cells
What are gametes?
the name of the phase where DNA is copied
What is the S phase of interphase?
The purpose of mitosis
What is the repair or replacement of old, damaged cells, growth and development, or reproduction of a new organism?
This is formed when homologous pairs of chromosomes are joined during prophase I of meiosis.
What is a tetrad?
Name of paired chromosomes 1-22 .
What are autosomes?
A family of regulatory proteins that control the progression of the cell cycle
What are cyclins?
the phase where chromosomes become visible
What is prophase?
